NABCo Beneficiaries Call On Gov’t To Settle Arrears

Beneficiaries of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCo) have once again called on the government to settle their nine months’ arrears owed to them.

In 2022 for instance, the aggrieved beneficiaries petitioned the government severally to settle their arrears but all efforts on the payment have been in vain.

National Convenor of the aggrieved NABCo beneficiaries, David Petterson says life has been unbearable for them as inflation keeps moving up whiles their allowances remain unpaid, and had to depend on family members and loved ones for support.

He, therefore, called on the government to fulfill its promise of settling their nine months’ arrears to enable them to get back on their feet.

According to the beneficiaries, several engagements with the government to pay allowances owed to them have proved futile.

The spokesperson of the former NABCO trainees, Naa Techie in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on Citi expressed her sentiments over the delay in payment of arrears owed them.

“The indication is that NABCO trainees have been left in limbo. NABCO Trainees have been subjected to incessant public ridicule, and they have also been subjected to severe hardships and are in a state of starvation to death,” she noted.
